I’ve been seeing that furry visual novel Major/Minor going around on my dashboard lately and people are being absurdly spiteful of it. There’s actual criticisms to be said about the visual novel certainly. I personally don’t agree with the game’s aesthetic or character designs! And from what little I’ve seen of the writing, it could use improvement. However, no one is pointing any of these things out and instead are stepping on it on virtue that it exists. The one thing I keep seeing people harp on is that there’s a self insert in it.
Of the person who made the game.
A single character out of like 16.
The other complaints include how it was a Kickstarter game but all it asked for was $100. It got $700 out of it which is still not all that much by KS standards. The people who backed it? They knew what they were getting into so the KS argument doesn’t really lend itself to these people’s complaints.
Ultimately, it’s just a small game from someone who wanted to have fun. The people attacking it are being unreasonable and just want something to get angry at.
